13,200-volt transmission line built pre-1920 with Thomas M-2221. It serves many mines and towns with electricity. Most of the line has been unaltered since construction, with interesting pole top hardware and Thomas insulators, in service to this day at 11,450-ft elevation. It has weathered extreme winters and violent storms for over one hundred years. Nearly all the insulators are in perfect condition.
